The music genuinely makes me feel awful. Perfect choice

[valk]

this will be the one anime i can officially say "i have read the manga"

[MatthewNeathery]

The music its self is a spiraling mess. Growing more and more out of control. Perfect for the show

[friend]

The world will not be ready when the hospital arc gets animated 😍

[yay]

everybodys gangsta until they realize that we live in a spiral galaxy

[eijiokumura]

Fun fact: junji ito didn’t want uzumaki to be adapted into an anime. He was extremely hesitant until he actually met up with the studio manager and saw first hand what it’d be like.

Can’t wait to have an existential crisis at the end of the show.

For everyone wondering when will this release now, it got delayed again to 2023 (from what I've heard at least). I still wish they'd update us on what's going on rather than just keep us in the dark. Hopefully this will be worth all the waiting otherwise this will suffer the same fate as the previous Junji Ito anime adaptation.

the music and the way she says "U zu ma ki" is horrifying omg

[lawgx]

i hope im not the only thats hoping this one doesn't get any color (the whole black and white just seems to fit perfectly with this)

[spaghettibolognese]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how Colin Stetson perfectly matched the feeling this manga gives off in the music? It legit sounds like it's spiralling!

[PurposelessRabbitholes]

1:17 gives me chills every single time

[haneulnara]

The way the "face” of the spiral twisted into a vague smile in a spiral rotation gave me goosebumps lord

[umuttashtanbaeva]

The way she said UZUMAKI at the end will give me nightmares

[walnatural]

that "u... zu... ma... ki..." at the end is gonna haunt my dreams






ok i just kind of remembered this comment and video and it got me thinking a lil bit lol

when i wrote this i didnt rly know much abt Uzumaki or Junji Ito's work in general, if i remember right i think at this time id only ever read The Enigma of Amigara Fault
recently tho ive gotten a lot more into his work, and i recently finished reading Uzumaki (which i absolutely loved btw, im super excited to se this anime adaptation when its released) and im currently in the process of reading Tomie (which i also love so far)
but anyway- i just thought it was kinda cool looking back at this now that ik a lot more abt it, also re-watching the teaser after reading the manga changed my perception of it so much, it went from "oo, this looks cool" to "dude this looks so awesome! i cant wait for it to be released!"

anyways, that concludes me rambling abt this lmaoo

DISCLAIMER: For those who haven't read the manga some scenes may permanently scar you

[therealkodami]

The thing that's so incredible about Uzumaki it manages to scare people not because of the gore, but instead the premise being terrifying as hell.

[EdMcStinko]

This song is like listening to a wind storm with its random changes in volume and intensity.

[soul]

It's been three years daddy, I really really miss you

[justchilling]

Everyone talking about the music but can we just appreciate how fluid yet eerie this animation and art style is? They could’ve just put colors all over and made some inbetweens here and there but they actually chose to retain Itos way of drawing. The music‘s also great btw
